Navaln has been in Germany since late August, when he felt ill on a flight from Siberia to Moscow and was later flown to Berlin on a medical plane.
Western countries say the 44-year-old opposition leader was poisoned by Novičiok, a nerve paralyzing substance created by Soviet scientists.
The anti-corruption activist and his colleagues accuse the Russian authorities of trying to force Navalna into exile at any cost.
The Moscow Board of the Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN) said in a statement Thursday that it “must take all measures to detain” Navalna until the court’s decision in 2014 to commute her probation to an actual prison term.
Earlier this week, officials asked a Moscow court to impose an actual prison sentence on an opposition convicted in a fraud case for violating the terms of the sentence.

According to the FSIN, A. Navalnas was required to register with officials at least twice a month while serving the trial sentence, which ended on December 29 of last year.
The statement adds that in 2020, A. Navalnas did not register six times.
“For each violation of A. Navalnas, official warnings were issued on the possibility of reversing the sentence of probation and replacing it with an actual prison sentence,” the prison service said.
The opposition claims that he was tried to be poisoned by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) on the orders of President Vladimir Putin. The Kremlin rejects such an accusation.
Planned return
On Wednesday, A. Navalnas announced via social media that he plans to return from Germany next Sunday.
“It just came to our attention then. And now (Russian President Vladimir) Putin, who gave the order to kill me … tells his servants to do everything possible to prevent me from returning, wrote A. Navaln on Instagram. – I’ll be home on Sunday January 17 [oro bendrovės] Pobeda’s trip. Trust me. “
In December last year, Russian investigators announced that they had launched an investigation into A. Navaln on the alleged more than 356 million. rubles (3.9 million euros) donated to their organizations.
A commission of inquiry into serious crimes said in a statement that a prominent Russian opposition figure had used the money to “purchase personal property, property and expenses (including holidays abroad)”, claiming that the donated money had been “stolen. “.
Shortly after the Investigation Committee’s press release appeared, A. Navalnas wrote on the social network Instagram: “It was not difficult to predict. I immediately said in the video: They will try to put me in jail because I did not die on that plane and then they looked for my murderers. “
“I didn’t stay silent until I tried to kill myself, and then I won’t be even quieter,” he added.
Conditional freedom
On December 30, 2014, the Moscow Zamoskvoretsk District Court found A. Navalna and his brother guilty of fraud and embezzlement of the cosmetics company Yves Rocher. The court sentenced A. Navalns to 3.5 years of probation and a five-year probationary period, and sent his brother Oleg to a general regime colony to serve 3.5 years in prison.
In August 2017, the court extended A. Navalno’s trial period until the end of December 2020.
The FSIN has also repeatedly unsuccessfully asked the court to replace A. Navaln’s probation with an actual custodial sentence.
In October 2017, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled that the Russian trial in the case of opposition leader A. Navaln and his brother Oleg was unfair and sentenced more than 80,000 of them. compensation.
On April 25, 2018, the Supreme Court of Russia reopened the trial of the Navalnai brothers due to the decision of the ECHR, but confirmed the sentence without modifying it.
